ENDING games in a positive frame of mind is sure to be on Wrexham’s wish-list.
The Bryn Estyn Road side have been so close to triumphs over recent weeks, only for late penalties to snatch wins from their grasp in cruel fashion.
Tenby United slotted over a late kick in their narrow Welsh Division One Cup success last month, while November started with a thrilling contest at home to Pwllheli, who returned to the top of the table with a last minute penalty in their 22-20 outcome.
Surely, things have to start going in Wrexham’s favour shortly and they will be hoping for a different result from tomorrow’s Division One North trip to Llangefni.
Both sides are on 17 points as things stand, but they remain within sight of the top-three.
There are two big encounters tomorrow involving sides in the top-four.
Leaders Pwllheli play host to Llandudno, while it is second versus third in Llanrwst, with Nant Conwy entertaining Caernarfon, who need a win to stay in touch with the leading duo.
Welshpool and Colwyn Bay, still searching for that elusive first point of the season, are away to Bethesda and Ruthin respectively, while Bala make the trip to COBRA.
Mold are still sitting pretty at the head of Division Two North and they will be strong favourites to maintain their undefeated record tomorrow.
A seventh win out of seven is the target for the front-runners at home to Llanidloes, who are still seeking a first win of the season.
Second-placed Newtown will look to make home comforts count versus Dolgellau, while Rhyl & District, in third, play host to basement side Denbigh.
Machynlleth make the trip to Teirw Nant Conwy and Abergele welcome Bro Ffestiniog.
There’s a big encounter lined up in Division Three North East, with undefeated Wrexham Athletic at home to Mold Athletic. Elsewhere, Flint have a tough trip to leaders COBRA Athletic.
There are also just two matches scheduled in Super Rygbi Cymru.
RGC will climb off the foot of the standings if they can secure a positive outcome from their trip to Bridgend.
In further action, Aberavon are at home to Carmarthen Quins.
A number of players are on the sidelines for RGC and the club has been giving an update on how they are.
Jac Petch-Jones is returning from a heel injury sustained a few weeks ago, while Will Kellet suffered a facial injury in training and he is set to miss the next few matches.
Harper Chamberlain is progressing following a shoulder injury, however, Louis Williams faces a number of weeks out of action after he fractured his hand in the game against Aberavon.
Jack Davies remains on the sidelines after re-dislocating his shoulder in training, but Danny Cross is progressing well after he picked up a hamstring injury against Llandovery.
Meanwhile, Harri Hughes is awaiting an ankle operation.
